If they use longer gears i suspect we could see even much higher average speeds than that.
Those roads would only make sense in something like dakar, where there is no reconnaissance en navigations plays a big part. Just because it would be unique doesn't mean its usefull.

I wouldn't say this for any other 'new' rally really, but given how relatively unique the Safari will be if it does indeed return for 2020, would there not be a reasonably substantial benefit to any of the WRC guys in taking part in the 2019 candidate event? Even if it were only in an R5?

Does a return to Africa have to be a 'Safari-style' event anyway ?
Rally Chile was new but its roads and itinerary were comparable with many current events. Chile is even a location for the modern Dakar but no-one said its WRC event should use such areas...

Jari Huttunen will do two Finnish Championship events in an i20 Coupe WRC. The organizers of Pohjanmaa-ralli, held in mid June, confirmed the team is coming. The first start will be this weekend in Riihimäki-ralli.

Exactly that - WRC Chile wasnt using any of it's previous Dakar route, type of 'roads' or big distances.
So why does a WRC rally in Kenya have to be like the old Safari ie. extra long and tough ?
A 'normal' gravel rally held there would still be good as it would put WRC back on that continent.Last edited by Fast Eddie WRC; 20th May 2019 at 16:10.

Chile has a long tradition of normal rallying on the roads we saw a week ago. Why should they have suddenly used a Dakar element? Kenya has similarly arranged rallies on the roads similar to the candidate event for years.
Besides, I don’t think Kenya has much road types to choose from.

Yes I fear so too, you just need to look at the new cost for tourists to get into Venice and when everyone sees the amount of money being made others will soon follow, and prices will go up. As...
